Nazis join Leftist haters of free trade.

One of those conference which deals with trade, which the nihilists on the Left hate so much, is scheduled to take place in a few days in Schwerin, Germany. And extreme socialists of all stripes will be there to condemn the idea that people should be free to trade with one another.

You should expect them to be flying their anti-capitalist banners and handing out leaflets portraying the virtues of state controlled economies. One such group wants to bring in 1,000 of their extremist members under the slogan “Not for sale! Stop globalization!”

And who is that? The Nazis of course. Well, the neo-Nazis to be precise. They don’t openly identify as Nazis as the government has banned such nomenclatures so these groups market themselves deceptively but most people know precisely who they are. Germany needs to repeal that stupid legislation and allow these vermin to stand openly for what they believe so there is no mistaking them for decent human beings.

Der Spiegel notes that the only difference between the rhetoric of the Nazis and the socialist is the “frequent use of words like ‘nation’ and ‘homeland’” by the Nazis. To be expected of course. Remember Nazis are “national socialists”.

True the two extremes of the socialist movement hate each other, but for much the same reason McDonalds isn’t fond of Burger King or Hertz doesn’t like Avis. They pinch each other’s customers so to speak. They over emphasize minor differences as a means of product differentiation and, for the same reason, ignore the vast similarities.
